Traveling in Europe

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
I was in Europe traveling with a tour group. We took a train from Paris overnight to Pisa. On the train myself & some other women on the tour met up, and hung out, with an older woman & her 40ist year old daughter - all partying in the dining car until it closed. We parted ways in Pisa. Our group toured Pisa then traveled to Florence to spend a day or so & tour there. We were then on to Rome for a couple days before we flew home. Of course, The Vatican was on our tour and as we were waiting for an elevator to take us to the Sistine Chapel, the doors opened & there directly in front of us were the two women we had partied with on the train. We were all surprised & happy to see each other again & marveled -- what are the odds that 2-3 days later we would run into each other in Rome?? It was the craziest thing ever.
